Welcome Billobob. Yes this thread is still active and it is single handedly keeping this forum alive at this time. It is mostly my fault that it has stalled. This is my busy time of year and I am really working extra (can you believe that) to keep my center going for another year and that gets harder and harder to do. Also I was/am stuck, didn[t really know what to write but there was no room in my head for this. Things have eased up a bit and I do hope I can get us moving again.

IF you want to join us, Billobob now would be a good time We have just gone underground and the next phase of the story is going forward. I had written in some non player characters in the form of a few Knights In Training along for the ride. Get you a name and character and you can be one of the young trainees and thus be part of the group. I suggest that in the mean time you read up on the story so far and whatever story notes are in this OOC thread. This will bring you up to speed and help you figure out who you want to be and how your character will fit into the story. Welcome aboard

To TheDarkLordMorgoth, same deal for you This is a good time to get into the story as we should be starting up again with the next phase of the tale. Read up on the story and get you a character that will fit in and join us in the underground tunnels. We are a writer's guild in addition to being the board's Warrior's Guild so please give us your best shot because we do believe that writing counts. The goal has always been to write collaborative stories that The Master himself might enjoy reading. Welcome aboard.

Not a problem We have had story threads that have gone on for literal years. I got a feeling we are really just getting this one warmed up so feel free to let us know and join the ride any time you can.

Hiya boys and girls. Looks like I am going to have a little time for myself over the holiday weekend. Problem is I got the same problem I had before...I got no idea where to go I am in that tunnel and in the dark. perhaps the break will let me see this with fresh eyes. gotta get some walnut brownies and try to coax my muse to come help me out 'cause got no clue

It is good to see some of you are still here. Is there room in the story for one of the oldies of the group?

OK what is up with the strange 3rd party picture in my sig area?

So True the Arrow, So Steady the Hand

No word in your quiver goes errant, no thought from your bow is misspent, no image falls short of your target, so true are the arrows thus sent. Your heart with a steady compunction pulls the bowstrings few others could ply, your story does more than just function-- your steady hand helps my heart fly!

I miss the old day when I could just upload a picture. Is there something online that will give me directions as to how to use Imgur and get a picture back in my sig area?

There we go. That felt cathartic. Just something to get Paul into the room and near the group. The question is, was the blue wizard giving him the look because of the sword? Or perhaps for some other reason... Duh, duh, duuuuuh....

Hail and Hiya, Quill Good ta see ya. The buggy is struggling at the moment but we are gonna keep it afloat. Gonna go scroll through the Encylopedia of Arda for info on caves and the like. Might jumpstart some ideas. It has worked in the past and I'm feelin' lucky

Thanks, good to be back, been a while, but the urge suddenly took me! Busy time of year (end of school year) though so I shall be dropping in and out, so the slow pace suits me just fine at the moment.

Interested to see where its going, and looking forward to potentially becoming a full member of this prestigious organization!
